There was no lift-off in Houston on Saturday night. High-profile teams Texas and UCLA agreed to play a game at Reliant Stadium as part of a doubleheader billed as the MD Anderson Proton Therapy Showcase.

The Shabazz Muhammad era hasn't gotten off to a pretty start for UCLA and back-on-the-hot-seat coach Ben Howland. The Bruins lost three winnable non-conference games, including an eye-popping loss to Cal Poly at home.

Likewise, Texas isn't having any type of a decent season either with one glaring loss to Division II Chaminade highlighting a dreadful start to a season.

Regardless of sluggish starts and failing to meet preseason expectations, when UCLA and Texas play each other in college basketball, it's still supposed to mean something.
